I still don't see a way to fix the gayest lane in asia (kotl-pl) though.

Nerf the mana replenished by chakra maybe?

That'd go against the concept of chackra magic. It the same as to why If doesn't separate bloodseeker silence and steroids in two skills: They are part of the concept of the hero. And reducing chakra effect would  just render it useless, while nerfing CD, damage or mana cost of spirit lance would make it useless whenever you don't have a kotl.
The best I can think of is a CD on who can get his mana replenished, like with mek heal, but I'm still not sure about how effective would that be.

QPAD is such an embarrasment lol...

[ranter]

Well, a GDStudio team would be popular enough to get more than a few sponsors, don't you agree?

But yeah, I hope Singx2 uses this summer to get a good team and get back in the action. He might lack profesionalism, but he's a really dedicated guy.


And hell, it's not as bad as what happened to dreamz. At least they don't claim to be ther very best of the best. #PINOYDOTOBESTDOTO

About PL+KotL, maybe make chakra a % of mana restored or a mix like X+Y%. It would scale really well into late game, but mana problems almost dont exist late game. Also maybe it could replenish X times the intelligence.

Think about Storm spirit or Leshrac having their mana replenished per percentages and being able to get just mana pool and damage items instead of mana regen. If that doesn't scare you, please go watch some videos of Blitz playing storm spirit.

Edit: In fact, here you have some epic ones.

Those matches were so FREAKIN' EPIC

[ukulele]

I still think it would be an improvement over a fixed value, its not like im saying the skill should give 50% of mana replenished. I also dont understand the point of those videos, some heroes when played well and in the right circumstances are great, yes i agree.

[ranter]

The second game is a really good example of how fucking scary can be a good storm spirit with a decent early game. I just added the other two because I really liked that series

Now, if you make kotl replenish mana per percentages, you don't even need that decent early game. 2k bucks on mana boosters and BAM, that handsome devil is ready to blow your entire team while stopping in Ol' Ez Repair shop to get up and running again in no time.

A good SS in the right circumstances is the most fucking scary thing in the world. And kotl replenishing percentages of max mana pool would make every circumstance a good circumstance.

KotL is always banned anyway.

The scariest thing in the universe remains Pudge+Wisp global hooks.

Edit : You could tie the mana gained from chakra to KotL's intelligence, forcing him to get some farm before becoming the curbstomping BS support that wrecks game.. And this takes farm away from the carry..
Then again, illuminate ensures last hits even in hell itself.

He's a bit too much at the moment. Bat, KotL, Nyx and Magnus (maybe Wisp too) get picked or banned in every game.
One day people will first-ban Treant Protector. Mark my words!

I only hope after TI3 they thing and once they decide to take action, do half of what the thought first, also not every picked hero needs nerf hammer sometimes its just the meta, i just dont want more heroes banished from existance (at pro levels). Legend says las year a hero made the gods angry most dont remember his name today but i do, Morphling. (DU DU DUNNNN)

[ranter]

OH, c'mon, both lycan and morphling are still really strong. The only thing nerfed about lycan was being able to jungle fast without risking anything and morph lost effectivenes in his shotgun (Okay, the first nerf was really hard, but the next patches left him in a pretty good shape), but in the right conditions they still hit like a truck. The difference now is the meta. Try to fit lycan in the trilane meta or risk mid game with morph against furion/ck+wisp/anyone else (He has good early game, bad mid game and good late game since the shotgun nerf.). These guys are still viable, it's just that the strategies used actually leave them as situational picks, like ogre magi.

By the way, this was a really good match (x2 OMG)

3v5 and without many OP combos (only mystic snake on centaur and beastmaster had it too, with acid spray on void too), and yet we stomp them. I had carapace, lunar blessing, lightning bolt and golems. And yet we manage to stomp them

[Stworca]

Being able to cast E-blade while waving was BS anyway.

While we can argue that he got hit somewhat too hard, going into 1v5 fights, killing 2 people and escaping like nothing happened was good enough ground to look closely into him. The changes hurt, but only those who were used to the state of Morph before.
Didn't someone effectively use him during Defense 3? Dignitas? Pretty sure he was ran as solo mid at D3.

[Cthulhu]

Bloodseeker wishes he could see half the competitive action Treant sees.

Cmon you can already tell there is a crazy skill disparity from their picks and their items, gloves before boots? gloves+claws?

[Stworca]

I love the GoH, Stout Shield + a branch Pudge. Top skill bracket.
My bet is he left early (4 deaths only) making it a 3v4, where the difference in skill mattered more. The amount of supports Dire team had is astonishing. For goodness sake, in most pubs it's usually just flailing around for both teams, until void / am / other gets enough farm and wins the game on his own. They at least got boots.

Edit : Going back to Morph. Wasn't Naga nerfed more as a carry, after IT2?

Lastly, despite the changes, Morph is STILL a ranged ago carry with 2 escape mechanisms and a survivability mechanism. The only guy even close to being as tough to bring down, is.. Naix?
